Summary
The sixth and seventh stanzas of the poem use very similar language and phrases to bombard the reader with final images of the difference between Beverly residents and residents of the speaker's neighborhood (and, by extension, other working-class neighborhoods in America). Brooks continues to use the pattern of deflecting language, followed by qualifying language, i.e. "Nobody is furious. ... It is only natural, however..."
Analysis
The notion of what is "only natural" is repeated three times in the last three stanzas, and each example is a jab. The speaker is careful not to come off as overtly spiteful, but the bombardment of justifying language at the end of the poem leaves the reader with a distinct impression that the speaker is dissatisfied with the social order and wishes to recognize how undeserving the wealthy are, and how their wealth comes at the expense of the working class.
The seventh stanza demonstrates how the materials of life, "wood and brick and stone," are universal, but that the quality of these materials depends on the resources of the person who owns them. In Bronzeville, the houses are made of wood and brick and stone just the same as Beverly houses are, except in Beverly, the wood is fine mahogany, the brick is bright red, and the stone is imported. This comparison underscores the universality of certain human needs, like shelter, while also drawing attention to the extravagances of the affluent.
